First Advances.

A lady who is fully assured OF her own re-
spectabiity, who has always lived in the best
society, is never afraid to bow first or to call
first or to introduce people whom she may
desire to know each other, She perhaps pre-
sumes on her position, but if she possesses tact,
rarely offcnds by SO doing. No one of heart
or mind, says n social authority, need feel
afraid to talk and he agreeable to guests mt a
friends house, whether introduced or not I;
even if she meets with "A rebuff, she Is in the
right. In Europe the roof tree is sufficient

Hundreds Of Buffalo Skeletons.

Between the Little Dry and Biz Dry we
saw what has become Of the millions Of bufTa-
locs Hundreds Of carcaSScs lay scattered
over the prairie in every direction. They lay
thickly along both sides Of the road, and the
bad lands were full of them. After passing
the Red buttes, on the way up, We were
hardly ever out Of sight Of n bleaching skee-
ton, mud sometimes score were in sight at
one time Once ! counted seventeen lying
grouped together in space Of not over two
acres in extent II was mouInful sight.
Although these buffaloes we're killed only four
years ago or less, the powerful effect OF the
dry winds and intense heat Of summer have
literally stripped the flesh from the bones and
left the whole skeletons lying just as they
fell, bleached as white ms snow on the upper
side and very often with nearly every bone
in its place. The skinners had left the heads
OF the bulls unskinned and the thick hide had
dried down upon the skulls as hard as horn,
holding the tangled masses OF the shaggy
frontlet firmly in place until il bleacbed brown
in the sunshine and finally was worn away
by wind and weather. A little later we
picked up eight just such skeletons as the
above, absolutely complete and with not
three pounds Of dried meat remaining on any
one OF them. The bleaching power OF Mon
tana weather Is perfectly marvellous
As we Travelled back TO Miles City in Do
cembcr we gathered up fifty one perfect
skulls Of old bull and COW buiYaloes To store

Wedding invitations require no answer.
People who live at distance and cannot at
tend send their cards to assure their hosts
that the invitation reached its destination
If, however an answer is requested, as is
often the case where n is home wedding,
carelessness in sending one would be inexcus-
able. Where an invitation to house wed
ding has been received n call is imperative
very soon after the wedding Evening we'd
dings do NOT differ essentially from day wed
dhgs, except that the b, 'degroom wears even

kiss the bride is nearly exploded. To rela-
tves only is the privilege accorded. The
wedding tour is by no means obligatory. A
newly married couple often issue their AT

Charles II. Welch and A. II. Hammond
arrived in this city last fall from Winthrop,
accompanied bv their families, to seek en-
ployment. They rented house on North
street and Charles Welch was employed by
the Foster Edge Tool Co AS a grinder. He
lett that job and was engaged by the kn;ck-
erbocker Ice Co. TO keep the canal clear in
front OF their houses in Farmingdale He
hired Hammond to assist him and they left
their home at o'clock Sunday night 10 per-
form their duties. All went well until few
minutes before u o'clock when Welch told
hammond that he had better go and see if
everything was all right as the ice was crack
ing and he feared that portion Of the field
would move down and close the canal The
men separated, Hammond going in north
erly direction and Welch the opposite. The
former fulfilled his task and started to re-
turn and was within 10 rods of Welch when
he cried out "all right" Welch must have
been alongside OF the canal and on hearing
the shout slipped and fell in, for Hammond
had no sooner gotten the words from his
lips than he heard splash, and running to
the place where he lett his companion found
him struggling for life in the deep aud dark
waters of the Kenne bee. He hastily pro-
cured an ice chisel, which was some dis
tance of, and returned to discover that the
ebb tide had taken the body OF the unfortu-
nate man under the ice towards the mouth of
the river, which as yet has not been recoy-

Judge Ayres, Of the civil circuit court. this
morning gave his decision in the proceedings

also that there is no provision of the const-
tuition whereby lieutenant governor can be

ernor is elected, that is, once every four
wears, and inasmuch as the election was not
constitutional the proceedings could not be a
contested election ss provided for by the con-
stitutiou and statutes. He granted a writ OF
injunction agaiOst Col. Robertson to restrain
him from presiding at the joint convention on
Wednesday
In conclusion, the Judge said he assumed
jurisdiction and made the decision he did SO
there could be An appeal to the supreme
court at once, he believing that upon such
an important question the opinion of that
court should be had.
